hey jim how do you spell new york? 
a knife 
a fork 
a bottle and a cork

anonymous · Answer

The ball costs .05 cents. and the bat costs 1.05. The bat is 1 dollar more than the ball, for a combined cost of 1.10. If the ball costed .10, then the bat would cost $1, making the bat only .90 cents more than the ball.
